Let me tell you why game developers are getting f------ p----- with you right now, game journalists, since you need it spelled out for you. These developers, the big big dogs? These people have dedicated decades of their lives in quite a few cases for people's entertainment. These developers have literally shed blood, sweat and tears for gaming. Damaged their personal relationships, their own health, and more These developers commit years of their lives to producing a thing, just so we can spend a few hours of ours consuming it. These guys fought through a hellish time in our world, where people thrived on fear and misunderstanding of video games. These developers are the people who made this industry what it is; their sacrifices are why we can enjoy a content rich hobby You, game journalists, are currently flushing away years of other people's work to try and make this industry great and respectable You want to know why developers are p-----? It's because it's one thing to see attacks come from outside; they didn't expect it from within You, “game journalists", have thrown game developers and their customers right under a f------ bus. For clicks. Game developers are going to hold you respon- sible for peddling a b------- narrative that makes them “monster makers." Many of those developers do remember the time where it was an uncomfortable situation to say "I make games for a ving." Many of those developers do remember the time where their families looked down on them for chasing their dream of making these games for us. These developers have had to suffer through a b------- mainstream media in the past doing everything to destroy this industry. You don't even realize it, but these seasoned developers? These are some hard as nails mother f------. There's a lot of s--- they don't say. These are the people who fought off every other threat to their chosen profession; they made the sacrifices, they paid their dues. And then lo and behold, look at the stupid s--- you have wrought, game journalists. You are the ones that are currently unraveling progress. The b------- you've been talking for over 6 months now? Yeah, you're talking about those developers' customers. But the fact of the matter is this: Game journalists, you are becoming more trouble than you're worth. Nintendo Direct says hello. What you don't realize is that indeed, the fire is ris- ing. Big names are speaking out now, plainly. This will inspire others to do the same If you want things to keep going the way they are game journalists, keep doing what you're doing. You're bringing your own end about. Game journalists, when the dust settles developers will still be here Customers will still be here You likely won't be Keep it up. ButI, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. Newsflash: Game developers are p----- because you, game journalists, are treading hard as f--- on their dreams. Game developers have every right to be p----- at what you've done, game journalists. Not just to them, but their customers as well. You journalists just don't seem to get it. Developers are going to turn to the people who actually support them: their customers. You, game journalists, are not a game developer's customer. You are just a business means to an end. A way to reach their actual customers. -Oliver Campbell

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

think about who these journos are going up against.

these people are going up against people who dedicate years of their lives to their projects. people who have deciphered the exceedingly complex language in which computers communicate and use that language to create entertainment, of all things. They can see this bullshit because they have deciphered far more obscure thinhs.

this is not to mention the people who chose a hobby in which they have been slandered for enjoying, who never gave up, have been practically TRAINED to never give up because losing is bogus, who adapt new strategies on the fly to deal with difficult situations.

and these slanderous writers, these incompetent fucks think they can damage us, after all we built, after all the slander and lies they have told about us for decades?

you should be laughing at the mere prospect of it.
